Intimate partner violence (IPV) remains a global problem that requires intervention, yet women residing in rural areas still face challenges in dealing with it. There are no specific studies on the barriers to the use of formal support systems by victims of IPV in rural areas in Zimbabwe. Therefore, this study explored barriers that exist in the use of formal support systems by victims of IPV residing in rural areas in Zimbabwe. A qualitative study was conducted with 25 women between the ages of 19 and 49 years who reside in a rural area in Chimanimani District (Zimbabwe). Study participants were recruited using purposive sampling and on the basis that they had experienced IPV in their former intimate relationships and were not current victims. In-depth face-to-face interviews were conducted with the study participants. Interviews were audio-recorded with the consent of participants and data transcribed verbatim. The data was analysed using thematic analysis. Findings from the study suggest that the desire to preserve marriages, the attitudes of service providers, concerns with confidentiality, and lack of resources were barriers that victims of IPV faced in seeking formal help. Women in rural areas face challenges in accessing and using formal support systems even though they have the same risks of IPV perpetration as women in residing in urban areas. Therefore, there is a need for more resources and context-specific interventions to ensure the protection and uphold the rights of women residing in rural areas.

亲密伴侣暴力:了解津巴布韦农村地区寻求正式支持服务的障碍

亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)仍然是一个全球性问题,需要干预,但是居住在农村地区的妇女在应对这一问题上仍然面临挑战。目前尚无关于津巴布韦农村地区IPV受害人使用正式支持系统的障碍的具体研究。因此,本研究探讨了居住在津巴布韦农村地区的IPV受害人在使用正式支持系统方面存在的障碍。对居住在奇马尼马尼地区(津巴布韦)农村地区的25名19至49岁的妇女进行了定性研究。研究对象是采用有目的的抽样方法招募的,其依据是他们在以前的亲密关系中曾经历过IPV,并且不是当前的受害者。与研究参与者进行了深入的面对面访谈。在参加者的同意下对访谈进行录音,并逐字记录数据。使用主题分析对数据进行分析。该研究结果表明,维持婚姻的愿望,服务提供者的态度,对保密的关注以及缺乏资源是IPV受害者寻求正式帮助的障碍。尽管农村地区的妇女与居住在城市地区的妇女有相同的感染IPV的风险,但农村妇女在获得和使用正式支持系统方面仍面临挑战。因此,需要更多的资源和针对具体情况的干预措施,以确保保护和维护农村地区妇女的权利。该研究结果表明,维持婚姻的愿望,服务提供者的态度,对保密的关注以及缺乏资源是IPV受害者寻求正式帮助的障碍。尽管农村地区的妇女与居住在城市地区的妇女有相同的感染IPV的风险,但农村妇女在获得和使用正式支持系统方面仍面临挑战。因此,需要更多的资源和针对具体情况的干预措施,以确保保护和维护农村地区妇女的权利。该研究结果表明,维持婚姻的愿望,服务提供者的态度,对保密的关注以及缺乏资源是IPV受害者寻求正式帮助的障碍。尽管农村地区的妇女与居住在城市地区的妇女有相同的感染IPV的风险,但农村妇女在获得和使用正式支持系统方面仍面临挑战。因此,需要更多的资源和针对具体情况的干预措施,以确保保护和维护农村地区妇女的权利。尽管农村地区的妇女与居住在城市地区的妇女有相同的感染IPV的风险,但农村妇女在获得和使用正式支持系统方面仍面临挑战。因此,需要更多的资源和针对具体情况的干预措施,以确保保护和维护农村地区妇女的权利。尽管农村地区的妇女与居住在城市地区的妇女有相同的感染IPV的风险,但农村妇女在获得和使用正式支持系统方面仍面临挑战。因此,需要更多的资源和针对具体情况的干预措施,以确保保护和维护农村地区妇女的权利。
